Forum Rules

Think first before posting, think of the the way you phase your question especially when asking for help. Here are some general guidelines.

Please use SEARCH first! Tab top of forum.

There is a pretty good chance that unless you have some really odd or unique problem that it has been addressed on our forum before, please use the forum’s search feature first to see if there are already some good threads on the subject. It is easy to search – just click the “Search” tab at the top of the forum page.

Be DESCRIPTIVE and Do not use stupid topic names

Post a descriptive topic name! Give a short summary of your problem IN THE SUBJECT. (Don’t use attention getting subjects. They do not get attention and only annoy people).

Here’s a great list of topic subjects YOU SHOULD NOT POST :

I have a question can you help me?

Generally ANYTHING similar to those is unacceptable. Just post your problem.

Here is a good example of a way to post a question

“How can I explain to my child the reason they need to go to school?”

Remember when people help you, they are doing YOU a favor

Be patient, help people out by posting good descriptions of what you need help with, and not snapping at people with garbage such as “if you are not going to help do not waste my time replying”.

Teachers and tourists both expect to get cheated in China. The warnings are every where. But we expect the cheaters to be Chinese - Like Rebecca Tang, her Foreign HR, China ESL, and 10 other alias companies. We do not expect to get ripped by fellow foreigners. But we assisted with some research for China Scam Patrol and we found a pattern where almost half of their victims were scammed by companies owned by foreigners and for almost twice as much money as the Chinese frauds, except for the Rosie Tang skimming scams which ends up stealing 30%- 66% of a teacher's earnings. Anyway. these Top 20 China Job Scam s account for 90% of the China job frauds so you may want to share this with your friends ASAP since the hiring for the fall semester is still going on now.

BUT DO NOT TRUST FOREIGN JOB AGENTS AND RECRUITERS ANY MORE THAN CHINESE. MOST ALL ARE CHEATERS WITH A 10% MINORITY THAT ARE ACTUALLY HONEST AND ETHICAL!
